This stream is for you if you:
- don’t have a specific professional area where you’d like to work
- have a degree that doesn’t match our other streams.
In our generalist stream, you can choose to do 1 or 2 placements. Doing 2 placements is a great opportunity for you to broaden your skillset and knowledge. You can tell us which business area you’d like to go to for your second placement. We’ll try to accommodate your preference, but we can’t guarantee it.
We’ll place you in a role that matches your skills and experience. Once you start, you’ll stay in the generalist stream for the duration of the program.
